Step 1
Tos the blueberries, maple syrup, and the juice from one lime wedge into a cocktail shaker. Gently muddle the blueberries to release their flavor. Add ice cubes and pour in the whiskey. Give it a good shake for about 15 to 20 seconds until everything is nicely chilled.
Step 2
Fill a rocks glass with ice and strain the cocktail mixture over it. Top off with a splash of club soda for a bit of fizz. Finish by garnishing with the remaining lime wedge, and you’re all set to enjoy!
